Question of the Day: Which Batmobile is Best?
With the newest chapter in the Batman saga, The Dark Knight, opening in movie theaters across the country today, we thought it a perfect opportunity to ask about that coolest of crime fighting machines, the Batmobile. The car has changed dramatically in appearance throughout the years with each version holding a particular charm. Which of history’s Batmobiles is your very favorite?

Well, easy question, same as the best Batman, The early 1990s Animated Series. The car had great big horsepower sounds, plus the jet engine, and some very interesting, but plausible gadgets, more so than the wild, scene specific features in the movies. Although I will say that the Tumbler from the current movies is maybe the most interesting take on the Batmobile, but not car enough to be a classic Batmobile.

The first guy is joking, all the other cars blow next to the Tumbler.

When they rebooted batman with Batman Begins(thank god they did), they had to reboot the batmobile too, and they did it so well I'll go ahead and say the Tumbler is the best. Awesome stuff. Very cool, menacing looks, I love it.

I have to say the tumbler is ultra functional but not what I imagine batman would be driving. It's not sleek, it's not fast or agile. Batman needs something to get across town to to save the day in the nick of time, or evade cops, criminals and traffic with superior handling. Since when does batman drive what is essentially a tank and brute force everything else on the road? I think the first movie, jet turbine stretched limo batmobile offered the perfect balance of strength, speed, handling, gadgets and maybe even class? I may have considered batman forever's vented hotrod batmobile but I believe it was not featured enough in the movie to get a feel for what it could do before getting blown up by jim carrey.

I have to say the original from the old black and white TV series. The first time I saw it I was blown away.

I like the turbine/jet coupe. Looks swoopy without being too extreme. and kinda retro. Neat car.

Maybe it's my advanced age showing, but I have to go with the Barris designed batmobile from the TV series. Like the series it was campy but cool.

who ever was sitting on the set of Batman Begins and said lets make the batmobile an SUV like vehicle was a genius. Batman Begins and the Tumbler are the best takes on the DC comic, I am not a comic book guy, i really couldnt care less how authentic it is, i am speaking for the majority of people who have seen the many batmans and feel like they need a more human batman who doesnt always do good but acts on human emotion.
back to the original question, the tumbler rules. he has his lambo if he needs to go fast

Being that my childhood covered much of the 1990s, I have a special place in my heart for the Batmobile of The Animated Series. Its exaggerated appearance fit well with the art deco/gothic mood of the show. I could imagine the Maybach Exelero serving as a Batmobile inspiration or vice-versa in the real-world.

I have to go with the Batman Animated series vehicle, as it had a sinister look that could have come from the past or future.
Tumbler is a close second, though.
Jason Salcido
Yes the maybach exelero does look like the real world batmobile! Finally someone said it. Okay animated series batmobile it is then.

tim burton's batmobile was the best. That bat mobile was the most exotic, had the most flash and for me was the only car worthy of the name. The animated series batmobile looked like a lazy copy of tim burton's bat mobile.

While I love the animated series Batmobile (close second, btw), the Tumbler is definitely my favorite. It's the one that has me saying "I gotta get me one of those", like Gordon in Batman Begins.

The Lincoln Future/Batmobile from the 1960s TV show. I saw the car in its original form at Barris' shop in North Hollywood in 1965 several times. Then one weekend, noticed it was missing from its parking spot (on the lawn infront of the building). I asked what happened to the car, an employee pointed to the Firestone tire store across the street, "There it is. It's going to be in some TV show...". It was up on a rack, painted black, and - at the time - I had no idea what he was talking about. Within weeks, "Batman" debuted on television as a weekly series along with the then-newly restyled Futura as Batman's ride. I still love that car the best!

When I begin to play this Seal Online game, I first go to buy seal online cegel to buy some my favorite and beautiful clothes to dress up my character. I have spent cheap seal cegel to buy my favorite cloth. I mean we have anime and some necessary seal online cegel based games that do not look really kid dish. Though I will admit with my own seal cegel I went crazy on leveling with DECO. Some of the skills that we can use our sealonline cegel to improve to look amazing, and are fun to just watch honestly.

The rectangle shaped face needs links of londonjewelry that adds width and camouflages the length of the face. A highchoker reduces the length of the face, particularly if the neck is toolong. In addition, a 16¡å or 18¡å necklace that ends in a ¡°U¡±flatters this face. Long hair and narrow links of london is perfect match which can impress others as a fair lady. Fancy clothes coordinating links of london with slight tint could be better.
